Tie Rods and Long Travel Front?

So I'm now researching going long travel up front. Will probably end up going with the Total Chaos 2" kit. My question is regarding the tie rods. Seeing how one is required to buy the 2" extended axle shafts, why am I not seeing anything regarding the tie rods? The more I thought about it, I feel one would need to lengthen those as well, no? If everything else is being pushed out 2", how is the tie rod able to stay at the stock length? Thanks guys.

The kit comes with tie rod extensions I'm pretty sure. You'll have to buy the extended axles though. My big question is - are you getting glass fenders made??? Otherwise you're going to need to chop your fenders up quite a bit. I hit the top of the stock fenders now on full bump on my standard travel kit with spacers and offset wheels.
 
Yeah...concur with Joneseyyy. I was considering long travel up front when I did my suspension overhaul this spring and I was told 275s were going to be the largest tire I could run until a glass fender option existed.
